East Side Fight Night: April 19 2008

So the Saturday night gathering consisted of Dan, Mike, Justin, Billy, Shane, and myself, with guest stars K-Gant and Hannah. There were two pretty fun welterweight title bouts from last weekend -- Antonio Margarito handing another loss to Kermit Cintron (Cintron's only two losses as a professional), and taking his belt in the process; and Miguel Cotto completely drinking Alfonso Gomez's milkshake -- completely dominant.

The main event was the Bernard Hopkins - Joe Calzaghe bout live from Vegas. The Welshman looked shaky in the first few rounds (it was his first-ever pro fight away from the UK), but then turned it on and dominated the last half, winning a split decision and remaining undefeated.


Also of note from the gathering: no complaints from the Angry Raging Gash next door.

In other news, Miguel Cotto is a Very. Bad. Man.
